To VanGogh: If,the surge was to correct a "mistake"..Then how in the hell could the Bush Administration have afforded to make the "mistake" of not putting enough "boots on the ground" to protect us/the U.S. from the level of threat that Suddam was supposed to have posed?...Unless the Administration already knew that NO such "threat" existed in the first place!!!

We know for sure North Korea has nukes...yet, the Bush Administration finds ways to give North Korea more MONEY every time they test a nuke!...the long and short of it is...we (America) never attack an anybody that we know for sure has a nuke!!
